Love Or Money?

By love I mean Sharing real meaningful relationships with people outside yourself like friends, Family, Or That Special Companion.

Could you Trade Those people for financial security and to be able to live out your dreams? No Loop Holes.. if you had to walk away from everyone that needed you for the sake of having everything you have ever wanted.

This is a question that plagues me all the time since i know i have the talent to progress and obtain all the riches i could ever want. But it would take me removing myself out of the lives of those who love me. I have always had people but money on the other hand for the most part of my life has been scarce I came from nothing. I love money all most more than anything.. So i honestly couldn't lie and say the decision would be clean cut and easy.

I would have to agree with you on this. IF a actually had to choose, I would go with love. I wouldn't be able to live with out it.

I really couldn't live without love either. /: Just having that one person there telling me they care about me and that everything will be okay is all I need to get me by. Money is great, I'm very spoiled right now. But when I'm out in the real world I won't be. But at least I'd have (hopefully) someone who loves me unconditionally and will help me get through all the tough times life has to throw at me, especially financial ones these days "/ Definitely will be a challenge.

I would choose love, because you would have all that cash but no one to share it with

If i can buy sluts, i'd chose money...

Otherwise love, because there's also those moments where i'll be in a class or on the streets and i'll break out laughing or smile because i remember the things we've shared in relationships, and that always makes me happy, with or w/o money

I'd choose money. I could never live with myself knowing that the only thing that defines me as a person is another person. I'd rather be successful and lonely, knowing that I have accomplished something with my own life on my own two feet.

Then again it depends on where the money came from. If I was a successful surgeon, I'd be content with that. If I was a successful porn star or had just won the lottery, I'd kill myself. I don't like having things that I don't deserve, and if I was a pathetic schlob then the only love I could possibly deserve would be from people who don't deserve me.

That said:

intellect > money > love

Love definitely. It's something money can never buy. Not to mention being rich not necessarily makes you a happy or successful person. Ever heard of the phrase, "behind every successful man is a woman."

yay first post.. well i'll choose love.. for i believe that money won't mean much if i could not share it to my love ones but love can still survive without money... just so hehe

I've always thought that phrase was rather misogynistic. But either way I guess it's a good thing that, given my apparent vagina, I will never be a successful man.
